Goals from Nathan Eccleston, David Amoo and Steven Irwin (2) did the damage as the Reds came from behind to seal victory after Daniel Ward had stunned the home support with a sensational opener.

 

The visitors reduced the arrears with a second-half Chris Stokes penalty before Irwin's second of the game late on ensured the young guns of progress.

 

It means Hughie McAuley's men will now meet Ipswich Town, Watford or Birmingham City in the last four of a competition they will have high hopes of winning for the fourth time in our history.

 

Going into the clash the Reds showed no signs of any pre-match nerves and could have been ahead inside the opening minute but Alex Kacaniklic could only guide his header wide after a rampaging run and cross from Amoo down the right.

 

The visitors responded and gave a cameo of their attacking intentions when Ward volleyed well over from 25 yards. It would serve as a warning of what was to follow, and after Dalla Valle glanced a header inches wide of the far post the away side took the lead.

 

A corner from the right was only partially cleared to the edge of the area, allowing Ward the time to weigh up the volley before unleashing a magnificent effort into the Kop end net on 16 minutes.

 

The goal seemed to knock the confidence out of Hugh McAuley's young guns and Aaron Mooy missed a glorious chance to put Bolton two ahead when he blazed over from Michael O'Halloran's right-wing cross.

 

Liverpool needed a flash of inspiration and got it on 25 minutes when Nathan Eccleston broke free on the left hand side of the Bolton defence and raced through on goal before coolly slipping the ball beyond Tom Brocklehurst to level the scores.

 

 

With normal service resumed the hosts set about putting the game beyond Bolton before half-time and took the lead just past the half hour mark when Amoo powered home.

 

The exciting winger fought off the attentions of his marker to meet Chris Buchtmann's pinpoint cross and follow up his winner against Chelsea in the previous round with another Anfield strike.

 

If Amoo's joyous celebrations helped warm up the expectant the Anfield crowd, then Irwin went one better when he produced a series of flips after heading home a third from Eccleston's 42nd minute cross.

 

The confidence of the Liverpool players was there for all to see and Adam Pepper almost created a sensation when his Xabi Alonso-style effort from the halfway line was well stopped by the keeper.

 

It looked like a case of job done going into the interval, but Bolton fought back and after Matthew Carlisle fired just over from a tight angle, they were handed a lifeline when Joe Kennedy brought down Michael O'Halloran in the penalty area on 52 minutes.

 

Up stepped skipper Stokes who showed great composure to fire the ball beyond Dean Bouzanis into the left-hand corner of the net.

 

There were more than a few anxious faces inside Anfield at this point and just past the hour mark it could have been all-square but Bouzanis pulled off a miracle save to keep out Ward's sweet turn and shot.

 

It proved to be a crucial moment in the match as the Reds made sure of victory 12 minutes from time when Irwin grabbed his second with a sublime run and shot into the top corner of the Kop end net.

 

Bolton Wanderers under 18s: Tom Brocklehurst, Joseph Riley, Matthew Carlisle, Rhys Bennett, Chris Stokes (George Pawley 80), Grant Spencer (Stuart McDonald 46), Maison McGeechan (Tom Eckersley 83), Adam Blakeman, Daniel Ward, Aaron Mooy, Michael O'Halloran. Unused subs: Jay Lynch, Javlon Campbell.
